MINEOLA - Mills County Engineer Kevin Mayberry said his office has fielded numerous complaints about the heavy truck traffic on Barrus Road, but believes the concerns expressed by area residents are being addressed.

“We do deal with complaints, pretty much every week,” Mayberry said. “There are things we try to address and make adjustments on.”

The East Mills baseball team suffered a 15-11 road loss on Friday at Villisca.
The Wolverines (2-7 overall, 2-4 in the Corner Conference) had led 7-2 after four innings but the Bluejays rallied to score seven runs in the fifth and four more in the sixth to pull away.

Fremont-Mills pushed a run across in the top of the 10th inning to escape Sidney with a 5-4 victory on Friday.

Mackenzy Lang was dominant on the hill for the Knights allowing five hits and four earned runs while striking out a career-high 16. But Lang didn’t factor in the decision as the sophomore gave way to senior Clayton Wilson for the final two innings. Wilson earned the win striking ouT five of the six batters he faced.

Sioux City East edged Glenwood 5-3 in a non-conference softball match last Wednesday.

Both teams got off to good early starts at the plate with Glenwood leading 2-1 after an inning. But it was the Black Raiders’ offense that took control from there, scoring two more runs in the second and again in the fourth.

“I was disappointed in our effort,” said Glenwood coach Tim Stanton. “We play the way we’re capable of playing. I give East credit, they played hard. And we looked like we were waiting for it to happen and it never did.”
